The Lagos State Ministry of Transportation introduces a new system to accredit interstate parks and digitise passenger manifests, aimed at improving safety, reliability, and efficiency in interstate travel across the state.
The state Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, announced this development at a news conference on Friday in Lagos.
According to Osiyemi, the initiative is an ambitious programme designed to standardise interstate parks and digitise the passenger manifest system.
“This is more than just a modernisation effort; it is a commitment to the safety and comfort of every traveller who moves in and out of Lagos by road,” the commissioner said.
The Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Olawale Musa, while introducing the purpose of the event, noted that the aim was to bring a semblance of order to interstate travel.
Musa in conclusion said, there is a need to organise the state’s parks to track who enters and exits Lagos and identify those authorised to carry passengers.“This is about the safety and security of people in the state,” he said.
